Vintage silver print, mounted on original exhibition cardboard
39,5 x 29,3 cm
With the photographer's early studio stamp "Foto + Copyright / DR. STEINERT KEPLERSTR. 3 / SAARBRÜCKEN" on the reverse. This print was part of the exhibition "Otto Steinert and his students" at the Museum of Modern Art of São Paulo in 1955.
PROVENANCE Acquired by the present owner from the archives of the FCCB (Foto Cine Club Bandeirante).
Otto Steinert was a central figure of German post-war photography and the founder of "Subjektive Fotografie". Working extensively with Leica cameras, he understood photography as a field of visual experimentation, exploring abstraction, unusual perspectives and the creative possibilities of the medium. As a professor at the Folkwang School in Essen, he influenced generations of photographers.
